Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Lay out 4 large pieces of foil, doubled up. On each piece of foil, place 1/2 pound Clams, some sliced Chorizo, Tomatoes, some Jalapeno (more or less to taste,) a clove's worth of Garlic, 3 ounces White Wine, 1/2 tablespoon Butter and a good drizzle of Olive Oil. Season well with Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper. Seal the packages by bringing up all 4 corners then crimping and sealing together.

Place all of the packets on the grill with the lid down for 8-10 minutes, or until all of the Clams have opened. Drizzle your Bread with Olive Oil and place it on the grill until it’s heavily marked then set aside. Tear open the packets and serve with the grilled Bread!
